Monitoring Windows services

nVision can monitor Windows services. In case of any problem with any service (i.e. service going down) you can configure an alert action that may start or restart the service. Service monitoring is performed with WMI or by Agents.

In order to monitor by WMI, you have to properly configure credentials in the host properties window. Also WMI has to be enabled on the remote host. Please refer to Requirements and configuration topic for more information.

To monitor Windows services without opening remote access to WMI, install Agents.

To turn Windows service monitoring on:

1.Open the Host properties window.

2.Select the Windows tab.

3.Navigate to the Windows services window, click the Configure login credentials link and enter the details of the administrator account on the remote host.
